I am trying to do my unemployment taxes and I am a bit confused what to do in this situation.

I was collecting unemployment from PA (I live in PA) but I worked in PA as well as NJ.

I collected unemployment in PA for the end of 2009 into the beginning of 2010 then in February of 2010 PA stopped my benefits and said there had been a mistake and rather than collecting tier 1 EUC i was supposed to be collecting from NJ.

After about a month of sorting that out and NJ dealing back and forth with PA the end result was NJ repaying the tier 1 I had collected from PA in 2009 and 2010 then NJ paying me about 2 weeks of regular benefits since the repayment had used most of that up. Then I Continued on tier 1 in NJ, so basically they just flipped the money around.

Now the issue is, the money i earned from PA and from NJ as well as the repayment for unemployment earned in 2009 are all showing up on my 2010 1099-G forms so I am not sure what to do.

In my mind I should be paying my taxes on the unemployment I recieved in 2010 but according to my 1099-G id be showing not only double for the first 2 months because i recieved PA which was then repaid by NJ but also the money paid back to PA for 2009 unemployment is being re-taxed via my NJ 1099-G.

Thank you for anyone that can help me with this mess.

One of those 1099-G's should show an amount in the Overpayment box. That should reduce the amount of income.

Neither one shows a repayment amount they just have this on it basically
Soc Sec No - Total Payment - Tax Withheld - Tax Yr
0000000 - 00.00 - $0.00 - 2010

I have a letter showing what was repaid to PA from NJ exactly, and for what weeks but I have a 1099-G for money I received from PA in 2010 and was re-payed. Also my 1099-G for NJ has the 4920$$ repaid to PA listed mixed in with my normal unemployment wages.. so of the $4920 repaid, $1968 of it was for PA unemployment I received in 2010(which I should pay taxes for once) as well as $2952 for PA unemployment I received in 2009 which I already paid taxes for on my 2009 return.
